Latest Beagle Frequently Asked Questions:
I just got a beagle not too long ago, and I want to house break him, as far as using the bathroom outside and not jumping up on the couch and things like that.
Answer:When my dad was training our dogs, he would take them outside if they looked like they needed to go, or he would just take them out right after eating so they got the idea to go outside. It just takes some time. Treats afterward help to make it more solid. As for jumping on the couch, a smack to the back side and moving him off the couch or whatever tends to work.
I have a 10 year old Beagle and a 5 month old German Shepherd. Whenever the German Shepherd comes neer the beagle the beagle barks and then they get into a small (but aggravating) fight. Please help me find a solution!
Answer:yeah ya see, you need to set rules and boundaries for both dogs so that the beagle will accept the shephard into the pack....
Our beagle (Bagel) is 2 yrs old. We go to our farm about once a month and chickens run free there. There is no way to pen them up or keep them out of her sight. Also, putting her on a leash is not ideal as she loves to run free, and other than her chicken killing habit is a good girl. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how this habit may be broken?
Answer:You'll need to restrain the dog for at least the short term. There's no other way to interrupt the behavior. You can work on teaching Leave It, but casing and hunting is what the dog was bred to do. It's going to take awhile to train a reliable enough Leave It to protect small game around the dog.She might never be reliable around chickens because she's succeeded many many times in getting them.
My wife and I have a beagle and want to get a companion for him. We'd like to get a different breed but don't mind sticking with another beagle. He's a curious, sweet dog and we'd like to get another dog that has about the same sweet personality. What other dogs of similar size should we look into?
Answer:Basset Hound - Though they look rather lugubrious, Bassets are lively, sociable, and good natured characters. They need lots of exercise. Kept as sedentary house dogs, Bassets tend to become overweight and as a consequence can be arthritic in later life. Dachshund - (Sausage Dog) All Dachshunds are lively and intelligent, but can sometimes be a little fussy. All Dachshunds are prone to "Slipped Disc" problems of the back, a tendency aggravated by their predisposition to overeat and become obese as they grow older. Although they do not need loads of exercise, regular romps and a controlledd diet are essential in their healthy maintenance. Cocker Spaniel - A very active, playful and intelligent animal, the Cocker Spaniel can be rather wilful at times, like the Beagle. Its enthusiastic nature is demonstrated by its tail, which wag furiously most of the time, especially when the dog is on the move. Jack Russel Terrier - The Jack Russel Terrier is excitable, cheerful, and loyal. Makes an excellent guard dog. The breed is endowed with abundant energy resources, but its likely to lose its fine shape if it isn't given plenty of vigorous exercise - much like the beagle. Boston Terrier - The Boston Terrier is an intelligent, boisterous and affectionate dog, with none of the aggressiveness tendencies of its ancestors. Because of the structure of the puppy's head, most Boston Terriers have to be delivered /by Caesarean sections. This surgery is expensive and breeding tends to be limited to those of very fit stock. Pembroke / Cardigan Welsh Corgi's - Welsh Corgi's are loyal, affectionate, friendly and are very good with children. They tend to be wary of strangers and therefore make a good guard dog. King Charles Spaniel - It is unaffectionate, level headed, good with children, and mixes well with other dogs. Pug - The Pug is a very loving and attentive dog that doesn't need much grooming or exercise but does demand company. Not everyone takes an immediate likeing to the wrinkles features, squashed face, pugilistic stance, and the distinctive rolling gait of the breed, but most are eventually won over by the pug's extreme good nature and clean habits. Thats a good list of dogs that are similar to your beagles size. These ones should get a long with a beagle, if you get it from a puppy no doubt the dogs will love each other. Good luck! Maybe try finding a pup or dog at the shelter.. just a suggestion. ♥Abbey
Hi, i just got my beagle pup about a week ago. he is 3 months old. my family gives him alot of attention during the day to keep him busy.(playing around, taking him to pee.. etc) during the night he scratches the age of his crate constantly, my parents have trouble sleeping and i want them to be happy with the dog because he is a good dog its just that he whines and barks during the night. all answers are great, i just need help! thank you !
Answer:Put a wind-up clock inside a dirty sock and put that in the crate with the pup. The ticking and the familiar scent on the sock will both act to calm him and let him sleep better.
